This is my second one-shot and PLEASE DON'T HATE.
Clary's P.O.V.
This is it, I thought, this is the day I tell him. I, Clary Fray, have been in love with my best friend, Jace Wayland since we were 13 years old. Walking around New York really cleared my mind and I finally realized that I need to tell Jace what I feel. I thought that it would be better to say how I feel than watching running off and falling in love with some other girl. Maybe he will feel the same way, I thought, and we could actually be together. I still had that uneasy feeling in my pit of my stomach that this will turn out badly and it's getting worse every step of the way to Jace's house.
"Clary!" I heard the voice that I would recognize anywhere. I turned around just as Jace reached me with that signature smile of his.
"Did you get my text?" he said, grinning like an idiot, obviously very happy about something which involves the text.
"No, I haven't. What was it about?"
"Well, I-"he started to say but I cut him off.
"I'm sorry but I can't hold this is any longer. I have something to tell you and you better keep your mouth shut while I say it." I said. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes. I looked down at my feet.
"Jace, you are my best friend in the whole wide world. I could practically read you like an open book. I could look into your eyes and know exactly what you're thinking. I could know exactly what you want and when you want them. I know when you would say a sarcastic remark and how you answer a question with a question. You can't draw to save your life but you're good at playing the piano. You're smart, kind, sweet and what every girl deserves." I said. I looked up to see his face.
"I just wanted to say that I'm in love with you. I am completely in love with you since we were 13, Jace Wayland. I wanted to just say it to you, face to face, than have to feel the guilt of not telling you every single day—" I felt my phone vibrate and I saw it was the text Jace was talking about.
'Hey :) Me and Aline are officially together! Can we meet at my house in ten?' it said.
"Y-you and Aline?" I said with a trembling voice.
"Yeah…" he whispered.
"Since this afternoon?" I asked, tears clouding my vision.
He nodded, his face empty of any emotion. I didn't have to look in a mirror to figure out that my face was filled with hurt and betrayal as tears streamed down my face.
"Well, I hope you'll be happy together." I said as I turned and started walking home.
"Clary, wait!" I heard Jace shout.
"You know what's stupid," I said as I turned slightly to face him, "I actually thought that I had a chance with you." I turned and ran home with my heart completely crushed.
I'm sorry but I'm not good with happy endings ...
